GREAT NEWS TO SHARE!As previously reported, Peoria Unified School District was considering re-laying boundaries, which originally suggested that The Meadows Master-Planned Community would be split in half - effectively causing students here to bus to schools miles away, rather than continuing to walk to the existing schools we are zoned for:  Sunset Heights K-8 and Liberty High School.While some adjustments were necessary, I am pleased to report that Maracay Homes at The Meadows will REMAIN AT OUR EXISTING SCHOOLS, SUNSET HEIGHTS AND LIBERTY HIGH SCHOOL!  These are highly desirable schools, so we're very excited and relieved that we will remain within their boundaries!To see the finalized Maps and other details, follow this link:  Peoria Unified School District Boundary UpdatesA very bi...

Last night, I attended the Peoria Unified School District meeting at Sunrise Mountain High School. Peoria is considering revising the current school boundaries to balance out student populations.  Since this could impact my home owners and future home owners, I thought it was important to attend!To see current and proposed boundary maps, meeting outline, or watch the 2+ hour video of the meeting, click here: Peoria Unified School District Boundary MeetingThere were some passionate statements and impactful points made by attendees, including:- How difficult it is for children to transition from school to school- The proposed boundaries have students a few hundred feet from 1 school, getting bussed or having to walk to a school 1+ miles away- Dividing children residing within the same com...

One of our listings is a Short Sale.   I know, I know, it's hard to believe that Short Sales still exist - but they do. In this case, two lienholders. This is the second time down the pike.  We received the approval letter from the second lienholder a couple of weeks ago. The first time around, the first lienholder took far too long and "mishandled the file" (their words not mine). The Buyer's circumstances changed and at the point we had the approvals from both lienholders, they were unable to continue. C'est la vie. (Tha's French - I think!) Back on the market, knowing the magic number the lender would accept, enter another Buyer, and off we go again for round two. Due to the first time around with the primary lienholder, we had a complete list of what they would require to process th...

I had lunch at Gyros Town today, in the Lake Pleasant Towne Center - just a few minutes away from the Meadows.  It is on the NWC of Happy Valley Road and Lake Pleasant Parkway.Gyros Town is a casual, order-at-the-counter restaurant with AMAZING lunch specials - and food!  They were pretty busy, so I didn't take an interior photo of people eating.....but they have beautiful murals painted on the walls, and a diverse menu. I wasn't "that hungry" so I didn't get a plate entree, but rather, the lunch Gyro combo....Gyro, fries, and a drink for under $10 with tax....and they do NOT skimp!  This pita was crammed full of meat!  I have plenty left over for tomorrow, too!  The meat was succulent, veggies crisp, and tzatziki sauce was divine.....I will definitely go back again soon!Gyro Town is on...
